Eastwood doesn't 'give a crap' about critics of his RNC speech




Clint Eastwood says he doesn't really care about the people who ripped his impromptu "chair" speech at the Republican National Convention, saying he was just expressing his feelings.

Eastwood appeared on "Good Morning America" this morning and the 82-year-old explained one of the reasons he didn't want to give a traditional speech off a teleprompter that night is because "I didn't have my glasses with me ... so I wouldn't have been able to read it."

Instead, he explained: "So then I’m just sitting there and the guy says, ‘You wanna sit down?’ and I said ‘No, but put that [chair] next to the podium will ya.'"

And a legend was born.

When he was told that President Obama is still a fan of his, Eastwood said, "Well, that's his bad judgment."

As for the criticism Eastwood has received since the speech, he said: "There is something about the aging process that makes you give a crap less."

Right he is.

Young kids and old folks will tell you the truth.

If ya' don't like it, tough. Get a life.

I wonder what he thought about the SNL skit?

I saw this lol. SNL being funny for once.

SNL has been pretty funny for a while. The cast has been pretty good. Some left this season, but I still think they'll do well. Bill Hader is hilarious.

You can tell I've been out of touch.
I haven't watched it since John Belushi was on there.

I've watched probably a dozen or so SNL's since November and have found them to be stupid more than anything. SNL has not been funny IMO since the days of Farley, Spade and Hartman.

Weekend Update has always been funny.

Dennis Miller and Norm McDonald are my favorites.

We'll just have to agree to disagree . Spade is really not funny.

Christopher Walken. I need more cowbell.
